#nobot seems to be pretty ineffective in my profile. again though, I don't really care about who follows me, but I'd rather not get notifications about such bots.
maybe I should put up a PR for a custom notification rule along these lines.
@blueminder good to know theres another #tootfluencer out there
@max that's #tootleader to you
@blueminder no i'm sorry i am the tootleader already
@max y'know, I didn't even read your bio when I wrote that. looks like it checks out.
@blueminder take my webinar
@blueminder Yeah, I'm getting follows from bots that say they respect #nobot, but I've got a #nobot in my profile.
@susannah @blueminder I am out of space in my profile. :sigh:
@Samizdata @blueminder At least you know it wouldn't be doing you much good? I've just been blocking bots
@susannah @blueminder I think I have 5 bots following me? I am supporting that for federation purposes. But, yeah, bots only play as well as their programmers let them.
@Samizdata @susannah yeah, I generally don't care overall. but it sure is annoying to get those notifications all at once.
@blueminder @susannah Agreed indeed.
@Samizdata @susannah @blueminder So: substitute a Bio link:
https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius/34102
https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius/
In fact ... starting with this one mightn't be all bad.
@dredmorbius @susannah @blueminder Did not know you could do that. Cheers!
@blueminder That is a great idea
@sungo @blueminder Seconded. Thirded? nthed? Lost track of the numbering...
eh, whatever, I'm just turning off notifications for all follows for now. it's all about #toot #engagement from here on out.
